What I meant was, if you look through this thread, all the announcements for until the elves and the barrels have been written out.
I, actually, don't have a copy at hand and am not going to be tempted by ed boy's FILES.
So, I don't know if with elves something noteworthy happens, except for

A burglar has stolen a prepared meal! x20
A burglar has stolen a prison key!
Elven guard cancels check on a prisoner: Job item lost or destroyed x12
A prisoner has escaped!x12

Uh, have no idea about the right colors.

Updated, but I'm to lazy to pick through, so can you compile anything I missed?

Okay.

Before Beorn comes this:

Gandalf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
Dwarf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
x13
A Hobbit is no longer in hiding
Group Cancels Talk: Interrupted by Goblins
After that someone has already written a thing, but I can't find it... Nevermind, it seems it was about a different thing somehow. So

An ambush! Curse them!
Goblins start singing.
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, launches a fire bolt! x6
A goblin cancels attend a party: Interrupted by a wizard. x53
A goblin has burned to death. x5
A warg has burned to death x8

Goblin cancels gloat: Job item lost or misplaced x48
Warg cancels howl: Job item lost or misplaced x43
Gandalf "The Grey" has begun a conversation with a Eagle Lord.
It would be nice to insert after it

Civilization Giant Eagles has become a friend of dwarves.
Civilization Giant Eagles has become a friend of Bilbo Baggins.

After that goes Beorn.

After
Beorn has become enraged
it would be sensible to insert

Beorn has calmed down.

Hmm....

So, I've finally got my hands on a copy of The Hobbit. I haven't got past Mirkwood, in fact, barely past Beorn, but I've noticed that some events here aren't exactly correct. For example:
<...>
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar has become an enemy of Gollum.
You have discovered a Goblin Caves' Back-door!
Goblin Guard cancels Train: Interrupted by Burglar! x15[/b]
Goblin Guard cancels re-capture a prisoner: Job item lost or misplaced! x15
Goblin Guard has become confused x15
Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, has become stuck!
Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit, has popped out!

Goblin Guard cancels search for a prisoner: Too sun-sick! x15
Gandalf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
Dwarf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
x13
Gandalf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
Dwarf Cancels Argue: Interrupted by Burglar
x13
A Hobbit is no longer in hiding
Group Cancels Run: Interrupted by a Warg pack
Warg cancels attend a meeting: Interrupted by a Dwarf!
x13
Warg cancels attend a meeting: Interrupted by a Hobbit!
Warg cancels attend a meeting: Interrupted by a Wizard!

An ambush! Curse them!
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, has made a masterpiece enchanted spark-bomb! x6
Warg cancels hold council: Interrupted by magical fire! x235
Warg has become enraged! x235
A warg has burned to death x34
A warg champion has burned to death x16
An ambush! Curse them!
Group cancels mock: Interrupted by a goblin raiding party!
A goblin cancels attend a party: Interrupted by Giant Eagles. x223
Goblin cancels gloat: Job item lost or misplaced x223
Warg cancels howl: Job item lost or misplaced x185
Warg has been struck down by a Giant Eagle x13
Goblin raider has been struck down by a Giant Eagle x9
You have discovered a Giant Eagle Eyrie!
Gandalf "The Grey" has begun a conversation with a Eagle Lord.
the Civilization of Giant Eagles has become a friend of  the Lonely Mountain, a dwarven Civilization.
the Civilization of Giant Eagles has become a friend of Bilbo Baggins.
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, has begun a conversation with Beorn, a skin-changer.
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, has begun a conversation with Beorn, a skin-changer.
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, has begun a conversation with Beorn, a skin-changer.
Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard, cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
The Honey Menace, a bear war-party, has returned from a mission with success!
Beorn, a skin-changer, has become a friend of the Lonely Mountain, a dwarven Civilization.
Beorn, a skin-changer, has become a friend of Gandalf "The Grey", a wizard.
Beorn, a skin-changer, has become a friend of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit.
The dwarven expidition has left on it's journey
<...>

At least in the 1999 paperback edition I've got here, Beorn doesn't become enraged, and is in fact, quite amused by the story.
I'm not sure who's the object and who's the subject when there is an announcement like "Bilbo Baggins, Burglar has become an enemy of Gollum.", but depending on the relationship, it may need to be changed, as Bilbo Baggins felt his famous pity towards the Gollum then.

BIlbo being an enemy of gollum is quite correct. Gollum hates Bilbo to the extent that

Beorn came VERY close to losing it with all the interruptions.

I meant who's whose enemy. Especially in relation to DF announcements. And whether in DF announcements it matters - can one entity be hostile to another while the opposite isn't true?

As of Beorn's rage:

Quote
<...>"Well, now there arefifteen of you; and since goblins can count, I suppose that is all that there were up the trees. Now perhaps we can finish this story without any more interruptions." Mr Baggins saw then how clever Gandalf had been. The interruptiions had really made Beron more interested in the story, and the story had kep him from sending the dwarves off at once like suspicious beggars.
<...>"A very good tale!" said he. "The best I have heard for a long while. If all beggars could tell such a good one, they might find me kinder. You may be making it all up, of course, but you deserve a supper for the story all the same. Let's have something to eat!"
<...>

Well, to me Beorn sounds completely pleased, that is quite the opposite of enraged. I know he growls before that when the dwarves come in, but it seems to me more from impatience to hear the rest of the story than hard feelings.
